Oh, that list brought back a few foggy memories, Bob. I also remember NOTEBOOK and ...something strange about a blue chicken on IBM-MAIN. I remember Stan Horwitz from the old HELP-LIST (I think that's what it was called). My former employer was not big on applications and students were not allowed to use e-mail for the longest time. When they hired me as a consultant, I'll never forget when I talked the system admin into installing listserv on VM -- the next morning he came running into my office exclaming, "It's alive! It updated itself!". Later, I installed it on an SGI for campus use. When I arrived at Queen's in 1997, listserv wasn't used much at all, so I went through what Stan went through; trying to build a mail & web service and convince folks that there was a lot of benefit. Of course, now we have the opposite problem - I found out recently that the average student arrives on campus and is immediately put on at least 8-10 mailing lists! Times have sure changed. --Trish On Sat, 24 Jun 2006, Bob Kaneshige wrote: > Wow...do I feel old.
